A Season-Best Effort from Brody Zemba Leads Bishop Rosecrans over Bridgeport
On Friday, Bishop Rosecrans got the W thanks in part to Brody Zemba playing the best football he has all season. Zemba rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 65 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Bishop Rosecrans, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Zemba and Bishop Rosecrans will look to defend their home field on Friday against Miller at 7:00 p.m.

Logan Doughty Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Miller got the W thanks in part to Logan Doughty playing the best football he has all season. Doughty rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 52 yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.

Doughty is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Bishop Rosecrans on Friday. When Doughty last faced the Bishops back in October of 2023, he rushed for 225 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry.
